"\n"
"  Get the definition of curl from a dictionary:\n"
"\n"
"        curl dict://dict.org/m:curl\n"

"DOWNLOAD TO A FILE\n"
"\n"
"  Get a web page and store in a local file:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -o thatpage.html http://www.netscape.com/\n"
"\n"
"  Get a web page and store in a local file, make the local file get the name\n"
"  of the remote document (if no file name part is specified in the URL, this\n"
"  will fail):\n"
"\n"
"        curl -O http://www.netscape.com/index.html\n"
"\n"
"USING PASSWORDS\n"
"\n"
" FTP\n"
"\n"
"   To ftp files using name+passwd, include them in the URL like:\n"
"\n"
"        curl ftp://name:passwd@machine.domain:port/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
"   or specify them with the -u flag like\n"
"\n"
"        curl -u name:passwd ftp://machine.domain:port/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
" HTTP\n"
"\n"
"   The HTTP URL doesn't support user and password in the URL string. Curl\n"
"   does support that anyway to provide a ftp-style interface and thus you can\n"
"   pick a file like:\n"
"\n"
"        curl http://name:passwd@machine.domain/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
"   or specify user and password separately like in\n"
"\n"
"        curl -u name:passwd http://machine.domain/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
"   NOTE! Since HTTP URLs don't support user and password, you can't use that\n"
"   style when using Curl via a proxy. You _must_ use the -u style fetch\n"
"   during such circumstances.\n"
"\n"
" HTTPS\n"
"\n"
"   Probably most commonly used with private certificates, as explained below.\n"
"\n"
" GOPHER\n"
"\n"
"   Curl features no password support for gopher.\n"
"\n"
"PROXY\n"
"\n"
" Get an ftp file using a proxy named my-proxy that uses port 888:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -x my-proxy:888 ftp://ftp.leachsite.com/README\n"
"\n"
" Get a file from a HTTP server that requires user and password, using the\n"
" same proxy as above:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -u user:passwd -x my-proxy:888 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" Some proxies require special authentication. Specify by using -U as above:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -U user:passwd -x my-proxy:888 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" See also the environment variables Curl support that offer further proxy\n"
" control.\n"
"\n"
"RANGES\n"
"\n"
"  With HTTP 1.1 byte-ranges were introduced. Using this, a client can request\n"
"  to get only one or more subparts of a specified document. Curl supports\n"
"  this with the -r flag.\n"
"\n"
"  Get the first 100 bytes of a document:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -r 0-99 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
"  Get the last 500 bytes of a document:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -r -500 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
"  Curl also supports simple ranges for FTP files as well. Then you can only\n"
"  specify start and stop position.\n"
"\n"
"  Get the first 100 bytes of a document using FTP:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -r 0-99 ftp://www.get.this/README  \n"

"        curl -v ftp://ftp.upload.com/\n"
"\n"
"DETAILED INFORMATION\n"
"\n"
"  Different protocols provide different ways of getting detailed information\n"
"  about specific files/documents. To get curl to show detailed information\n"
"  about a single file, you should use -I/--head option. It displays all\n"
"  available info on a single file for HTTP and FTP. The HTTP information is a\n"
"  lot more extensive.\n"
"\n"
"  For HTTP, you can get the header information (the same as -I would show)\n"
"  shown before the data by using -i/--include. Curl understands the\n"
"  -D/--dump-header option when getting files from both FTP and HTTP, and it\n"
"  will then store the headers in the specified file.\n"
"\n"
"  Store the HTTP headers in a separate file:\n"
"\n"
"        curl --dump-header headers.txt curl.haxx.nu\n"
"\n"
"  Note that headers stored in a separate file can be very useful at a later\n"
"  time if you want curl to use cookies sent by the server. More about that in\n"
"  the cookies section.\n"
"\n"
"POST (HTTP)\n"
"\n"
"  It's easy to post data using curl. This is done using the -d <data>\n"
"  option.  The post data must be urlencoded.\n"
"\n"
"  Post a simple \"name\" and \"phone\" guestbook.\n"
"\n"
"        curl -d \"name=Rafael%20Sagula&phone=3320780\" \\\n"
"                http://www.where.com/guest.cgi\n"
"\n"
"  While -d uses the application/x-www-form-urlencoded mime-type, generally\n"
"  understood by CGI's and similar, curl also supports the more capable\n"
"  multipart/form-data type. This latter type supports things like file upload.\n"
"\n"
"  -F accepts parameters like -F \"name=contents\". If you want the contents to\n"
"  be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents. When specifying a file,\n"
"  you can also specify which content type the file is, by appending\n"
"  ';type=<mime type>' to the file name. You can also post contents of several\n"
"  files in one field. So that the field name 'coolfiles' can be sent three\n"
"  files with different content types in a manner similar to:\n"
"\n"
"        curl -F \"coolfiles=@fil1.gif;type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html\" \\\n"
"        http://www.post.com/postit.cgi\n"
"\n"
"  If content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the extension\n"
"  (it only knows a few), or use the previously specified type (from an earlier\n"
"  file if several files are specified in a list) or finally using the default\n"
"  type 'text/plain'.\n"
"\n"
"  Emulate a fill-in form with -F. Let's say you fill in three fields in a\n"
"  form. One field is a file name which to post, one field is your name and one\n"
"  field is a file description. We want to post the file we have written named\n"
"  \"cooltext.txt\". To let curl do the posting of this data instead of your\n"
"  favourite browser, you have to check out the HTML of the form page to get to\n"
"  know the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are\n"
"  'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.\n"
